Free Comic Book Day for 2022 is now in the record book . It was a dissimilar FCBD . Our premature sale day in March almost arrange a phonograph recording for us . Then the crack sirens went off , ending an otherwise great sales day . The book would have been break for just a few hundred one dollar bill more . People ’s safety , of course of study , is far more important than money .
For FCBD , we named it Rodman Comics Day . On sales days , masses ’s outlook are to come in and take reward of saving some money and bribe things . Free agency , to many citizenry , go in and get free stuff and pull up stakes without spending any money . Instead , we have auctions . People going to auction sale have a mindset to invite on materials and spend money . As a business sector , of course , we need people to drop money . We donate to schools and charity , but we call for to be pass water money to do so .
My goal for the 7th of May , due to our former sales twenty-four hours doing so well , was for Rodman Comics Day / FCBD to have a record - coiffe sales day . It did not happen . It was a far better gross sales mean solar day than last class ’s FCBD back in August , at least . The 24-hour interval fell short of tucker out our sales days in March , and back then , we did not give away comics that we had to buy . Something I wish was stressed more on FCBD . Often , people think they are getting free cartoon strip that were free to the stores . They are inexpensive , though they still cost us money , and all those costs sum up up .
On Friday night , we were getting set up and ready for the 7th of May . For mass with pull boxes with us and others who can not make it in , we hold the comics for them . I was astonished how quickly the pulls for the free comics were dispatch . There just were not that many comics pulled . Justice League Dark Crisis . Judgement Day : Avengers vs. X - Men vs. Eternalsand theVenom / Spider - Manfree comics were easily the most popular . TheDoctor WhoFCBD was a surprise hit . TheTeenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesFCBD comedian was also take out . Those were the only FCBD comedian our pull client , and people who were unable to make it in were interested in having pulled for them . so as to avoid any mental confusion ( making sure a kid did not get a comic that was not kid - favorable ) , we forgather the kid comics and grouped them in their own box . For the kid , the Sonic and Pokemon comics were the most in - demand . All the gratis comics were behind the counter and given out by us .
I took a box to shore up launch the doorway because Saturday was one of the first non - rain day or cold-blooded days we have had this twelvemonth . As I typewrite this up on Sunday , the 8th of May , it is raining again . I did not think anything of the box at the time . It was a nice day finally , and we could have the room access exposed . I find out that the box had the cadaver of last year ’s FCBD comedian , and one of my employees had antecedently marked Free Comics on the side that I did not even notice . People were help themselves ; some did need if they could . I was well-chosen to see them go . Last year ’s FCBD had more popular titles to peck from . Batman , Batman Fortnite , King Shark , Spider - Man , Star Wars Adventures , and more . People were asking for gratis Batman comics and Star Wars funnies ; I just had to tell them we have some from last yr ’s Free Comic Book Day if they would like .
I would go over the list of free comedian for people to pick from -most multitude had no idea what the majority of free comics were about this year and had no interest in them . Some wanted each barren copy regardless , even if they had no idea what they were about .
What are we go to do with the destitute comic from this twelvemonth that we still have ? Tiny Town Comics here in primal Iowa is a newer comic business and is going to observe its day of remembrance before long . They asked if they could buy our remnant free comic strip to give aside to a subroutine library and kids to celebrate . I told them no . I know , I am a jerk – I tell them they could have them for free . They have been outstanding to us , and I am perfectly hunky-dory getting comics into kids ' hands . They do on-line sales and laughable show . Feel complimentary to front them up on Facebook .
What deal really well on FCBD for us ? Pokémon products . Packs and the various box set sell very well . It surprised me . In the store , I have noticed that a lot of speculators have move on from Pokémon products now that supply have finally been satisfy actual orderliness and the Thomas Kyd are now able to grease one’s palms Pokémon .
Now we are trying to put together a architectural plan for our next cut-rate sale day on the 16th of July . image out what worked and did not act upon in our previous sales agreement . What would be good auction sale items for that day ? The next Thor movie will be out in July , so we should have Thor comic strip and items up for auctions . Is that a trusted wager ? No , Moon Knight was suddenly a blaze away hot property , thanks to his show . The new series spike in sales . Back outlet of Moon Knight that had been sitting in our back payoff bin for twelvemonth flew out the door . Even restocks of erstwhile Moon Knight comics pilot out about weekly for a while . Doctor Strange had a Modern pic over the weekend of FCBD that zillion of people went to see , and we thought that would raise interest in Doctor Strange . Oddly enough , no . We should have had more Moon Knight comics for auction bridge than Doctor Strange comics . That is the comic business . If you are interested , feel free to sign up up with us on Twitter and Facebook to keep up with what we do .
I desire everyone who hosted FCBD had a enceinte cut-rate sale day , and I hope that everyone who picked up liberal comics was treated to some great entertainment .
